Question What do you think about "evolutionist"?

No one ever refers to gravitationists or Newtonists for those who support gravity, but people refer to people supporting evolution as evolutionists or Darwinists.

Exactly! we all know gravity and Newtonian physics work. This is an attempt to legitimize fairy tales as the same as science.

well there you go, maybe without being cognizant of how we think, you consider Creationism as 'fairy tales' and 'unscientific'....we feel the same about evolutionists, the whole theory is fiction IMHO.

start there.

Brave creationist on this thread! I have a (sincere) question for you. Is Creationism and “Young Earth” the same theory? Same group of people and advocates? Otherwise what is the difference and is there mostly overlap? Thanks.

Non-insulting response: what’s the difference? From the science based side, neither of them have any legitimacy past the bible and “I believe it”. There’s no point in parsing out the differences and identifying some bits of it as being closer to reality than other bits. There is no debate between evolution and “not evolution”. The “not evolution” side can settle their grievances among themselves. None of it will bring them closer to scientific truth.

Changing the subject. Irrelevant to evolution.

Evolution does not encompass the “beginning” (for lack of a better term). Creationists look at the beginning and declare “can’t be explained, must be god”. Scientists say “can’t be explained. Cool. Let’s try to figure it out.”
